The height formula given below shows that only 2 < n/d < 6 is possible.
* The maximal height would be obtained at n/d = 2 with upright latteral triangles but then degenerate top base (and thus slightly different incidence matrix), the other extremal value n/d = 6 would generate a height of zero.
‡ For even denominators the outcome would have a Grünbaumian bottom base.
